Liz Carmichael

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Liz Carmichael was a US enterpreneur who marketed the three-wheel Dale sports car in 1975. She was rumoured to be transsexual born Jerry Dean Michael.

Dale car was a design of Dale Clifft and was supposed to be produced by Twentieth Century Motor Car Corp in California. According to 1975 brochure, it had a two-cylinder engine, would reach 70 miles per gallon and would cost $200. It was to be constructed on structural resin that would withstand damage well. There were only three prototype copies and only one of them could move under its own power.

In the later trial, Clifft stated that he still believed in Carmichael and expected large royalties once the car would go into production. In fact he received only $1001 and a bum check.

Carmichael was charged with grand theft, fraud and securities violations.
